These are the IPT's we have established as of Saturday 9/14.

For those interested in SolidWORKS, which is encouraged, go to the Resources Page and find the SolidWORKS link. People have learned this in an hour; If you have time, go for this, as it can definitely been more efficient and accurate than making a scaled drawing.

Also, make a page for each of these IPT's on this wikispaces page and link it next to the name of the IPT.

These are the requirements for each IPT:

1) Mass, in excel

2) Dimensions

3) Scaled drawing and/or...

4) CAD (encouraged)

5)Analysis of Capability (Requirements, Physics Calculations)

6) Materials

Reference:

Weights and Measurements

We will have a status meeting Thursday, 9/19, at Jordan. Be very close to finished with all of these requirements by then. On Friday, 9/20, your finished product is due; meeting at Jordan!!! Be prepared for Analysis of Alternatives.
